Image File Renaming

I have an issue trying to copy and rename a few files. I'm trying to copy and rename a few thousand Tif file into a new folder and rename them.

Let>y=00000001

Repeat>x
CopyFile>%Path%\001%RollNumber%%x%.tif,C:\WM\%RollNumber%\%y%\0\00\%ImageName%.tif

Let>y=y+1
Until>x=1000

This is a sample code and it works fine with the first image and it renames 00000001.tif.

But when I get to the second image it just name it 2.tif.

I know that the problem come when I increment the y by 1, so how can I get it to format with all of the zero infront of the images name? I want the images to be named:

00000001.tif
00000002.tif
00000003.tif
00000004.tif etc...

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

-daniel

2 is a number. 0000002 is a string. You just need to convert from the loop counter to a string. You can do this:

VBSTART
VBEND

//e.g. with x = 2
Let>x=2

VBEVal>Right("00000000" & %x%,8),strX
